About ACCE
Framework
Whether you’re a senior executive, emerging leader, or visionary founder—

​
Leadership Presence is the meta-skill that determines how your leadership is received, remembered, and multiplied.
​
To make Leadership Presence practical and actionable, I have developed a signature ACCE™ Leadership Presence Framework —a holistic model grounded in four core dimensions of presence—Authenticity, Credibility, Connection, and Expression—not as abstract ideas, but as living forces in your leadership development.
​
The Framework Evolves across the ME–WE–US spiral, the dimensions and facets of ACCE do not remain static. They evolve as you evolve. It is not a model to master. It’s a mirror and a map .
​
As I often remind the leaders I coach:
Your expertise may open the door. But it’s your presence that determines whether people will walk through it with you.
​
That’s the real differentiator in today’s world of leadership.
​
Leadership Presence Has Structure—
It's Not a Mystery
Leadership Presence isn’t an accident or a mystery. It’s built on four interwoven dimensions that shape how leaders show up, connect, and inspire. Together, they form the ACCE™ Framework—a simple yet profound guide to growing presence from the inside out.
​
We offer two paths to support this growth:
-
From Impact (ME) → Influence (WE) → Inspiration (US)
-
Through ACCE™ Dimensions

The Four Dimensions of Leadership Presence
Leadership Presence isn’t one trait—it’s a dynamic interplay of four dimensions that grow with you as you lead.
A
Authenticity
Presence Rooted in Self
Authenticity is the bedrock of leadership presence. It begins with knowing yourself — your inner compass — and expands into how you show up with integrity, humility, and courage, even when it’s uncomfortable.
C
Credibility
Presence That Inspires Trust
Credibility is earned — not through titles or status, but through consistent alignment between competence, clarity, and reliability. It reflects how others perceive your authority, steadiness, and judgment..
C
Connection
Presence That Builds Belonging
Connection is the emotional and relational dimension of leadership presence. It includes your ability to create space for others, listen with depth, and generate resonance — where people feel seen, safe, and valued.
E
Expression
Presence In Mo
Expression is how your presence becomes visible and felt — not just what you say, but how you say it, why you say it, and what it evokes in others. This is where leadership becomes action.
“In a world of noise, true leadership stands out through presence. But presence isn’t just built on four dimensions—it evolves over time. ”​
“When these four dimensions deepen across ME, WE, and US, presence grows from personal impact → to influence → to legacy.
At the heart of the ACCE Leadership Presence Coaching Program is a simple but powerful idea:
"Leadership Presence doesn’t arrive all at once. It matures in a spiral—deepening with every experience, relationship, and choice."
This is the essence of the ACCE Spiral Journey.

The Spiral Growth Journey
Through the ACCE Spiral Framework, leaders evolve across three maturity levels:
-
You begin with ME (Impact), building awareness and clarity.
-
You expand into WE (Influence), learning to move and engage others.
-
You rise to US (Inspire), shaping cultures, systems, and legacy
This isn’t just a framework. It’s a lived journey of leadership growth.
STAGE 1: ME
Presence for Impact
The shift from proving to grounding.
Leadership Presence begins within. At this stage, leaders focus on self-awareness, clarity, and integrity. It’s about grounding yourself so that when you show up, your presence is felt—and trusted.
​
ACCE shows up as:
-
I know who I am.
-
I prove myself through capability and confidence.
-
I build awareness of others.
-
I communicate with clarity and intent.
STAGE 2: WE
​Presence for Influence
The shift from control to connection.
As presence matures, it expands outward. Leadership Presence becomes not just personal—but relational — trust-building, inclusive, resonant.
​
ACCE shows up as:
-
I stand true, even while embracing others’ realities.
-
I build shared vision and earn trust in teams.
-
I foster belonging and alignment.
-
I engage, listen, and energize others.
STAGE 3: US
Presence to Inspire
The shift from success
to significance
At the highest level, presence moves beyond the individual or the team. Leadership Presence here shapes culture, legacy, and systemic change — quietly but powerfully.
​
ACCE shows up as:
-
I embody values that become a collective compass.
-
I model wisdom that shapes legacy and culture.
-
I create resonance that unites diverse voices in shared purpose.
-
I inspire movements through vision and story.
The journey is not linear. It spirals upward—each stage revisited at new depths. This is how presence evolves from "What you DO" into "Who you BE" as a leader.
